First Post

A1 and A2 are growing up so fast. A1 is 3 1/2 and A1 is almost 8 months old. I want to log all their growing up moments here cause I know that we will all enjoy reading about them in the years to come.
I have also copied some of the earlier posts from our previous blog just so that all baby posts are now on the same blog. So there are a few posts that are dated earlier that this post.
Starting with A2's morning wake up call. He has been getting up earlier these days. He has gone from 7:30 am to 6:00 am which is not very good for his sleep deprived Mom. So he wakes up today... looks at Mom and Dad... decides Mom looks sleepier and comes right at me, grabs a bunch of my hair and yanks. Mom is not so sleepy now.
He has now learned to maneuver his bottle so that he can drink from it... no more sucking at the bottom and trying to get some milk.He is adorable when he calls out to V or me to pick him up. He goes "aa aaa aaaaa" with a big smile till we pick him up. I love the way he goes on his fours and looks at me through the crib bars when I am lying on the bed. He laughs at me till I give in and pick him up. I love the way he clings at me when I pick him up.. it is a very primitive ape baby hold.
He has started talking now. A1 started with "atha tha tha tha" He goes "Bah bah bah".
A1 is speaking quite a bit now. Yesterday I told her that eating boogers was disgusting. She said "It is not disgusting at all" Wow..
I was really mad at A1 a couple of days back cause she just wasn't listening to me. I told V that I would gladly exchange her for a saucepan. A1 looked at me and I told her "That's right, I will exchange you for a non stick saucepan". She looked at me, smiled and said "You are silly" So much for that.
My kids. I lucked out :)
